This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to he rich in yield and av ive average value ; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea• 'weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation ; and the quality of the Slate is equal in cloy-ness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brcught by land-carriag e (th ere b e i ng no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as 'well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas Peel, Castl e t own, Ramsey, and L axe y : D oug l as being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. The access to the Island is easy, and the means of corn • inunication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit the bland in large numbers, above 100,000 p assengers having been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the entiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The higheit medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce ere eo small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per manent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. • From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic wi:l re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,600 per annum, Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c 5, 500 - Parcels and M a il s £13150 Working Expenses at even 50 per C e nt. 6,,500 Leaving for Dividend £6,660 Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St: nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament. Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations, tirnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, [Ton satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum virill be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount paid upon shares. An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon- Bible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years. Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.

The leading financial establishments in Paris are the Credit Mobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the test of experience, and have realised very large profits for their shareholders—the transactions of the Credit Fonder being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit Mobilier embnices general Financial business. The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and Ireland which, since its establishment, has found the offers of busi ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob jects, cannot legitimately carry out. The principal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are as follows, viz..— To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertakin2s. To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. To aid in carrying out concessions, based upon Govern ment guarantees and subventions. To make advances to responsible contractors for English and foreign railways, and other public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special reference to the requirements of the Stock Exchange. The Cre lit Mobilier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for long or short per ods. The marked success which has attended the operations of the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well known, and is evidenced by the following quotations of the market value cf their respective shares.

Great changes are in con templation with regard to the political jurisdiction over that part of the country. General G. St. P. Lawrence, C. 8., Sir Herbert Edwardes, C. 8., and Colonel Durand, C. 8., are spoken of as candidates for the lieutenant-governor ship of the Punjab. The first section of the Persian Gulf telegraph is completed. It extends from Guadur to Malcolm's Inlet, Cape Mussendom. On the 9th ult. a message was so transmitted from the last-named place to cution, A very bad feeling continued to be shown by the Corfiotes towards the Eoglisb. Six or seven foreign sailing vessels had been chartered for the conveyance of guns and stores to Malta, Gibraltar, and England, and were being loaded with all de spatch. The only British man-of-war there was the Orlando, 46, Capt. G. G. Randolph, whose men were busily engaged loading the transports. The Supply, 2, iron screw storeship, Master Commander Bawden, left on the 19th for England direct, call ing at Gibraltar, laden with ordnance stores. The Cossack, 20, Captain W. R. Rolland, left on the 23d for Z ante, after having, together with the Orlando, righted the transport that had capsized while taking in guns. The Orontes, 2, screw troopship, Captain W. H. Hire, was hourly expected to em bark the 6th Regiment for the West Indies. The 4th Regiment was under orders for Malta. Both battalions of the 9th Regiment were under orders for Gibraltar. It was thought that the 2d batta lion would embark first. The arrival of the Meeanee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehouse, the Resistance, iron -clad, 18, Capt. Chamberlain, and the Liffey, 36, Capt. G. Parker, was expected, to assist in embarking stores and guns. There was an Italian frigate at Corfu with 140 naval cadets on board, who were daily cruising in the channel in a steam launch belonging to the ship. It is reported that the captain of the Orlando has applied to the Admiralty to have simi lar steam launches introduced into our navy. The following movements have taken place among the ships of the fleet at Malta during the week:—On Friday last the Icarus, 11, Acting-Commander Lieut. N. Boger, left for Benghazi, to take there Mr. Dennis, lately appointed Vice-Consul at that place, and Mrs. Dennis, On her return the Icarus will proceed to Corfa, for which island she was on the point of sailing when she recived counter orders. The iron-clad frigate Resistance left on the same day for the Piraeus and Corfu. This ship may be said to be on the black list at present. Some fresh instances of misconduct on the part of the crew, similar to that already related—such as wilfully damaging the fittings of the guns, &c.—have oc curred. The screw transport Orontes left on Sa turday for Corfu. The screw gunboat Growler, 2, Lieut.-Corn, J. M'Neill Boyd, left on the following day for Corfu, to be employed in towing lighters to the transports that are loading ordnance stores. Sir Henry Bulwer and suite arrived on Monday from Marseilles in the Caradoc, and proceeded on Wednesday to Constantinople, The Royal Oak leaves Malta to-day for Corfu direct. A Turkish war steamer, the Kars, Capt. Salih Bey, arrived here yesterday from Constantinople and Candia, with munitions of war for Tripoli. The Supply, screw storeship, Master Commander Bowden, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Corfu and Gibraltar. Mr. Armstrong, master, R.N., in valided from her Majesty's ship Cossack, died at sea between Corfu and Gibraltar. The Supply has a large cargo of military stores on board, and will proceed on to Woolwich. the former as to show that the 359 miles of cable successfully laid in the first section was in good condition. The extension of the line to Bushire was to be commenced in a week, and everything gives promise of a successful and speedy termina- tion of the work in the Persian Gulf. Within two months probably there will be an uninterrupted telegraphic communication between Great Britain and India. We have to announce the completion of another great public work—the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway. The whole length of the line was travelled on the 9th ult. by Colonel J. Pitt Kennedy, the engineer-in -chief. The line was expected to be opened on the let of this month. Great suffering has been produced amongst the 1 poorer classes in Bombay by the unprecedented rise in the price of provisions. A sanitary commission has been formed in Ben gal by Government notification, "to consider and afford advice and assistance in all matters relating to the health of the army, and to supervise the gradual introduction of sanitary improvements in barracks, hospitals, and stations, as well as in towns in proximity to military stations in the Ben gal presidency." Similar boards are to be formed at Madras End Bombay. The act for the prevention of the adulteration of cotton in the Bombay presidency came into opera tior on the Ist ult.

Although the system ofjo'nt-stock bankin'zhas been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of trade, it has not be,n intro laced tor the business of the Agricultural and Cattl,markets of fhe metropolis ; and though the population has doubled within the last twenty five years—and consequently the necessary q 'antity of sup plies -yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twenf y millions per bnuum, is left in the hands of a few private firms. The Albion Rank is introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an Otn3P in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the 111e , ropolitan t. att e-market ; awl subsequently, shou d it be bound cesirable, by opening branches in she twricult iral districts. The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be transacted by the Aihion Bank can be rea , iily appre ciated by a I no Nledge that the method in which de,iiings are carried on at the Cat le-mar;.et a las tit ute the ba ik, the de po itory of all the moneys passing trona the buyer to the producer. The Metropolit n Meat or Poultry-market in Smithfield, now in tours of erection, is destined, by the terms of the act of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other markets tor meat in th, m -tropolis. To this market will be concen trate all transactions tor the supply of butt ers' meat, you try, and other pr ,duce to the inhabitants of the metro polis, and a dale of I 4 miles round it. The irectvs have entered into provisional arranc_rements by which the advantage of c mmencing up ,n sn eAtat , .l shed connexion, under competent and experienc d manazeme t, will be secured to Shareholders fr ,, m the c ,mmenee men t of busing ss, by whic'i they are warranted in expect- Ine: that they wi 1 be enabled to de.lare a dividend during the first 3 ear. That ria.ber of Joint-Stock Banks m y advantareou t• y inere- sed (more p r icularly u d• r special eircumstan .e such as have 'ed t o the formation of the Albion Bank), is de monstrated by :he f Let that so late as ttOr ye r • ago, wl en the number of Joint Stocs Bank in London was n t more than six, their total deposits did not ex :eed £22,0'2/0,000: while n.tw that the number of these ban s has been doubted, the joint depnsils are sready more than I reb e I, amoun ing to a total of £71, 7 92,3u0.

Chelmsford, Lincoln, and Nottingham may be considered as agreeable preludes, each a lever de 7 ideau, to the Aintree drama. The audience, though doubtless " fit," is but " few" until the excitement of the Grand National lures from their firesides all the well- known taws whose last trysting-place was probably " the ring" at the Houghton meeting. Time was when it was thought quite early enough to put in a first appearance at - - - Northampton in the beginning of April, but we progress so ... • • rapidly in racing matters, the national pastime occupies so large a space in the pleasures and amusements of the year, that the old landmarks are being rapidly encroached upon, and it will be no easy matter shortly to say where the sea son begins and where it ends. Mr. Topham has seldom put forth a more promising pro- grame than on this occasion. Neither was the card inju diciously crowded, six events only being appointed for deci sion. The Tyro Stakes brought seven youngsters to the post, Weatherglass (a fine-looking sun of Weatherbit) being made the favourite ; but he only managed to secure second honours to East Lynne and Club Queen, who finished a fine race with a dead heat ; the former subsequently walk- ing ovor, and dividing the forfeits with Club Queen. The Spring Cup had about three equal favourites in St. Lawrence, the Monk, and Aurelian, Lord Westmoreland's horse having the call at starting. The Monk was never in the race,which was left to the other two, the weight telling on Aurelian, who was beaten by half a length. It had been snowing all the morning. amd the weather now reached a climax, the last race being run in so dense a storm that it was next to impossible to see the horses. The attendance was numerous, but, of course, the wretched weather had a matlrial influence, both on the receivs of the stands and the fields for the several events. A Handicap Plate of 40 sow. Winners extra. T.Y.C. 16 sub s. Captain Beresford's Lord Douglas, 3 yrs, Gst slb (J. Grimshiw) 1 Mr H. Goater's Poland, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b (T.

The favourite, with a slight lead on the far side, made the running to the commencement of the inclosure, when she dropped away, leaving Lord Douglas and Poland to tight it out, the former with a slight advantage, which he retained to the end, end running the longest won cleverly by a head, three lengths separating the second and third. A Sweepstakes of 5 soya each, with 23 soya added for 2 •yr olds and upwards; with maiden allowances. The winner to be sold by auction for 50 soya, if entered to be sold for £25, allowed 141 b. T.Y.C.

Mrs. Nesbitt, lying next the rails, after several failures, jumped away with a clear lead, followed by Damascus and Dovedale, with others lyingup. They ran thus to halfway in the distance, where Damascus took a decided lead, and won very easily by two lengths; twice that distance sepa rated the second and third ; Southerly Wind was a bad fourth ; Frondeur beaten off, The winner was sold to Mr. Mansfield for 75 guineas. The Tyro Stakes, of 5 soya each, with 100 sovs added, for two-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies and geldings Bst 61b. Winners extra, with maiden allowances. T.Y.C. 21 subs.

Some delay was occasioned at the post through the res tiveness of Ailesbury, who resolutely refused to join his horses. On their getting into their places East Lynne next the rails took a slight lead of Club Queen, who was closely attended by Weatherglass and Romola to the en closure, when the two singled themselves out, and finished a fine race home with a dead heat, Club Queen only getting up in the last stride. Weatherglass finished third a couple of lengths in their rear. Romola was a bad fourth, Rondoletia fifth, Ailesbury sixth, and Lady Teazle last. Deciding heat East Lynne walked over, and the stakes were divided. Tho Liverpool Spring Cup (Handicap) of 100 soya in specie, added to a swoepstakes of 10 sous each, 5 ft. Winners extra.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Aurelian, 4to 5 agst The Monk, 3to 1 agst St. Lawrence, and 100 to 15 agst Veterinarian. Immediately the flag was lowered St. Lawrence jumped away w ith a strong lead, waited upon by Jack's Alive, and Veterinarian, The Monk, and Aurelian lying close up. They ran thus to the mile post, where Veterinarian dropped back and his place was taken by The Monk, who in a few strides further were joined by the favourite into the straight, where Mr Saxon's horse gave way, followed by Jack's Alive, and shortly after Aurelian joined St. Lawrence, the pair running together to the enclosure, when the non-favourite shook him off, and won rather cleverly by half a length, Veterinarian finished a bad third and Jack's Alive fourth. The Monk trotted in, but did not pass the post. A Handicap Hurdle Race of 5 sovs each, 1 . ft, to go to tho fund, with 40 80V8 added. The winner to pay 7 t.ove to• wards pxpenses of the course.

In Liverpool—The Washington Hotel. PROSPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel acoommoda tion is not only desirable, hut absolutely necessary; and t) supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted un on the model of the great American and Con'inental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury' which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, turnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 3,(,00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included In the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other la•ge towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The C'Ompany will take - itin;ciitrie possession of the pre mi-es, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re turns will be mg de forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. '1 here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary expenses it; be restricted to the amount actually incurred. If no allotmf nt be made to an applicant, the deposit wi 1 be retnrned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotte than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wid be cre dited towards the payment on alotment.

THIS VALUABLE MEDICINE having of late years come into sunh general use, and being, moreover, so exten sively prescribed by the most eminent practitioners both in town and country, Mr. Keating can with the greatest confidence recommend this Oil as being perfectly pure, nearly tasteless, and free from adulteration, having been analysed, reported on, and recommended by Prof. Taylor, of Guy's and St Thomas's Hospitals, Dr. Scott. M.D., L.R.C.P., F.L.S., ac., and Dr. Edwin Payne, M.D., L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., who, in the words of the late Dr. Pereira, says that " The best Oil is that which is most devoid of colour, odour, and flavour, cha racters this will be found to possess, being purely of hepatic oridn, a point of great weight with regard to its therapeutic value.

The announcement was yesterday made at Chat ham of the appointment of Licut.-Col. A. P. S. Green to the command of the Ist division of the Depot Brigade Royal Artiilery, in succession to L;eut.-Col. R. Talbot, who has been placed under orders to embark for the Cape of Good Hope, to take the command of two batteries of the 2d Brigade Royal Artillery. The Royal Sovereign Turret Ship, The Royal Sovereign, turret ship, was yesterday floated out of No. 3 dock, Portsmouth, in the pre sence of a considerable number of spectators, chiefly naval officers. The Royal Sovereign was formerly a line-of-battle ship, and we may attribute her trans formation to her present form to the famous action between the Monitor and the Merrimac; which seemed to supply a strong argument in favour of Captain Cowper P. Coles's plan of arming ships with heavy guns, protected by cupolas, on the upper deck, and Captain Coles at once became a famous man. The Admiralty, urged by the House of Commons, at last consented to the construction of a Monitor for the British service, and the Royal Sovereign was assigned as the vessel upon which the experiment was to be tried. She was, therefore cut down, so as, when cased with iron, to bring her upper deck within a few feet of the water line, and so to limit the surface exposed to an enemy's fire. But the ship, as she is built, exhibits a very material alte ration from the original design. The cupola, or dome, has been dispensed with, and the turret is substituted. These turrets (of which there are four in number, each armed with a heavy gun), are sunk into the:upper deck of the ship, and are made to revolve on the same principle as a railway turntable, the motive power being within the turret, se that the gun may be moved in a lateral direction to any point of a circle. In each turret there is a narrow oval port hole for the muzzle of the gun to be run out, and this is but a short distance (perhaps a foot or two) above the surface of the deck, which falls from the centre to the side. The top of the turret is protected by parallel bars of iron, in which there are three circular holes, through any one of which the officer of the gun may insert his head to take sight of the object to be fired at, and at the same time to direct the movements of the men inside. The bulwarks of the ship will be attached at the lower part by hinges, and will fall back so as to hang over the broadside when the guns aro fired. The turrets being thus sunk, so that the basement rests on the main deck, do not form a conspicuous mark for the enemy. They are heavily cased with iron, and are of such strength that each weighs no less than 138 tons. The deck, however, is not bomb proof, consisting only of plates of iron one inch thick and covered with the usual planks of wood, so that if a heavy shot were to fall vertically it is not improbable that it would find its way out of the bottom of the ship. In the interior the cabins are lofty, but, as a matter of course, not well-lighted. A very important invention has, however, been introduced to improve the ventilation. It is a plan designed by Dr. Edmonstone, staff-surgeon of her Majesty', ship Victory, and consists of air channels running the whole length of the ship, and communicating with the hold where foul air accumulates, arid is carried off through these tubes into the funnel, in stead of permeating the decks to the injury of the health of the crew. It is believed that it will answer 2erfeetly, inasmuch as even when the fires are not lighted to increase the draft up the chimney stack, there is a considerable current. of air upwards through the tubes which communicate with the funnel. The ship under water is coated with Muntz's metal, and to prevent galvanic action a band of vitreous sheathing has been attached for some distance below and above the water line. This s h e athing consists of small plates of ir on co vered with a preparation of glass, and is intended to be an anti-fouling as well as protective agent. Contrary to the expectati on o f many persons, the displace ment caused b y the Royal Sovereign when she floated was found to be rather less than was an ticipated, acid she now draws, without her stores rigging, or guns, 18 feet forward and 24 feet aft. Although an unsightly ship on the water, and CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the Commissioners of Sewers of the city of London met at Guildhall for the despatch of public business. H. De Jersey, Esq., Deputy, presided ; and among those present were Deputy Bone, Deputy Lorkin, Deputy Hawtrey, Deputy Bower, Deputy Perkins, Deputy Read, Deputy Pewtress, Deputy Jones, Deputy Elliott, Deputy Owden, Deputy C. Reed, Deputy Scamell, Deputy Cork; Messrs. George Walter, Spilabury, Green, Houghton, Straker, Botterill, Cole, Nind, Banning, Blakeeley, Cox, Dadswell, Saunders, Matthew, Israel, &c. After the despatch of some ordinary business, the solicitor to the Commission (A.. BAYLIS, Esq.) reported to the Court that he had, in accordance with his instructions, caused inquiries to be made into the circumstances under which a quantity of meat, consisting of four quarters of a cow, was sent up for sale to Lealenhall-market in January last. It seemed that the cow had been consigned by a butcher living at Pinchbeck, in Lincolnshire, he having bought it for £3 10s., and that the animal had " dropped" from long-stand ing disease, and was on the point of death at the time it was purchased. The solicitor stated further that there could be no doubt the purchaser must have bean aware of the con dition of the meat and its utrfitness for food when sent up for sale. The solicitor added further, that as there might be some difficulty in proceeding against the person who hal sent the meat up to London under the Nuisances Re moval Act, he suggested that proceedings should be taken under the common law. The Commissioners instructed the solicitor to prosecute the person implicated at the Old Bailey. Mr. BAYLIS then explained to the Court the circumstances of the case of Charles Cox, a butcher, near Romford, who was summoned the day previously at the Mansion-house police-court, at the instance of the Commissioners of Sewers, for sending diseased meat to the London market. He said it was proved beyond all doubt that the meat was diseased and unfit for human food, and that it was sent by Cox to a meat salesman to be sold for human food; but as it hap pened to have been placed in that part of the salesman's pre mises from which, as he alleged, meat was never sold, the presiding magistrate (Sir R. W. Carden) decided that that was not a sale, nor an " exposure for sale," and the case did not therefore come within the strict interpretation of the Nuisances Removal Act of 1863. The magistrate, however, informed the sender that but for this technical difficulty he should have sent him to prison for three months. The soli citor further explained that under the common law it was not requisite the diseased meat should be sold or exposed for sale, it being sufficient to prove that the diseased meat was sent from the country, and such offender could there fore still be brought to justice by indictment at the Central Criminal Court. After some discussion the matter was referred to the soli. citor for further inquiry. THE STIFFLY OF OAS TO THE CITY-DR. LETHEEY'S QUARTERLY REPORT. The medical officer of health, Dr. LETHEBY, presented a report relative to the supply of gas to the City for the quarter beginning November 14, 1863, and ending February 13, 1864. He stated that the illuminatory power of the gas supplied by the three companies supplying the City had been above the requirements of the act of Parliament, the average having been as follows :—The City Company's pi was equal to 15'20 sperm candles; the Chartered to 13.93; and the Great Central to 13.80 'candles. The average power of the Great Central Company's gas for the corresponding period of the ten years preceding the act of Parliament was 13.40 candles. Dr. LETHEBY further reported that the amount of sulphur in the gas had, in the case of each of the companies, been above the quantity sanctioned by Parliament, and was below the average quantity found in the gas before the passing of the act. Some other business having been disposed of, the Coln missioners adjourned. AN ENTHUSIASTIC ADMIRER OF QUEENSLAN D,— The following is extracted from a letter written by a man who left England in March last year. Ile is a block printer by trade, and having worked in England, Ireland, Scotland, France, and the U n it e d States, he was pre pared to meet with some difficulties in Queensland and the latter country he s ays he likes best. He its, t now a residing fri en friend a s in flopllwsowisch from which pl ace h o wr i tes : " I am glad to inform you that 1 is plenty of wor k and plenty of meat, and good wages. am proud th a t I came out to this country, where there t l r t a i v s e l t sh,e andm o most b y e w e f t e i countryfsualys she eo could dh notav e like ever t o seen bainckaagaill my n except she h a d p l enty of money to keep her independent . She likes th e country very well, and so do I. Infact we are better off than ever we were in our lives before. We go down the street on a Saturday night and buy 81bs or 91bs of beef; or we can buy a leg of mutton at 4d per lb, and can have the best cutting of beef for 31d per lb. We are not the same as we were at home, for we were then glad to get a penny worth of liver; if we could manage to get a sheep's head it was a fine treat, lam working as a carpenter. I work eight hours per day, and get 8s for it. Wo start at eight o'clock in the morning, have an hour for dinner, and knock oil at five in the evening. On Saturday we stop at four o'clock in the afternoon. So you see for a week's work I have £2 Bs. My eldest boy is porter for a grocer, and ho has £l;s for the first six months and his rations; and if ht . ? stays after the first six months have expired he will get L 3 o per year. So you see he is better here, for he is not dragged out of bed, to go to a dirty, filthy factory with a faceas palo as death. He ge t s p l enty o f b ee f an d fr e sh air, and he is as fat as a pig. Th an k G od h o h as no t to run with his clothes in his hand f or f eu . o f b e i ng l oc k e d oat, and then to have to go through th e ' penny -h o l e ,' so that the slave (hiving factory ma s t ers can ta k e so mething out of his wages f or being too l a t e . If I lik e d I could keep a horse and a cow , and they would cost me nothing for their keep, as they turn them into the bush to find for themselves. 'There are v er y few pers ons h ere who do not ride their own h orses, T here is no poo r l aw , end there are no infernal bastiles. Thank God, I have shaken off the chains of opp ress i on, and have got to a land that 'flows with milk and honey ;' and I hope before long to Bit under my own vine and fig-tree.
